1. Field of the Invention

This invention relates to the use of salts of esters of long-chain fatty alcohols with alpha-sulfofatty acids as corrosion inhibitors.

2. Statement of Related Art

Industrial processes in which metal surfaces, particularly surfaces of iron and iron alloys, come into contact with oils or oil-containing aqueous emulsions under extreme temperature and pressure conditions are hampered by the problem of corrosion of the metal surfaces. Processes of the type in question include, for example, industrial cooling processes, processes for cleaning metal surfaces and processes for machining metal surfaces, such as drilling, cutting, rolling, etc. Although oils or oil-containing emulsions are used in these processes, the effect of water on the metal surface is still a problem. Moreover, the successive corrosion of the metal parts coming into contact with the oils or oil-containing liquids leads to a drastic reduction in the useful life of the associated fabricating machinery and to problems in the subsequent treatment of the metal surface, for example in the application of a corrosion-inhibiting surface layer by phosphating or lacquering.

Accordingly, it has long been known to add corrosion inhibitors to the oil-based liquids coming into contact with the metal surfaces. Numerous compounds and mixtures of various compounds may be used as corrosion inhibitors, both in predominantly oil-containing liquids and in pure oils.

German published patent application No. 11 49 843 describes semiamides of saturated or unsaturated dicarboxylic acids and salts thereof with aliphatic primary amines as additives for fuel oils and lubricating oils. Although additives such as these distinctly improved the prevention of corrosion, they show a very marked tendency towards foaming which is unacceptable in additives of this type.

Alkali or amine salts of sulfonamidocarboxylic acids used as corrosion inhibitors having a good lubricating effect with very little tendency towards foaming are described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,556,9943 and corresponding German published patent application 12 98 672. However, corrosion-inhibiting preparations containing these compounds are attended by the disadvantages that they can only be produced by elaborate processes and that because of their relatively high content of sulfonamide, they occassionally show toxic effects or are at least potentially toxic, thus necessitating continual toxicological tests and monitoring.

Synthetic petroleum sulfonates are known to inhibit corrosion in oil or oil-containing systems, cf. Ullmanns Enzyklopadie der Technischen Chemie, Vol. 18, 4th Edition (1979), pages 1 and 2; and Winnacker, Kuchler "Chemische Technologie", Vol. 4: "Organische Technologie II", 3rd Edition (1972), page 475. However, the disadvantage of this class of compounds is that they are not biodegradable. Therefore, they cannot be used in processes which inevitably involve contact with the environment, because the egression of corrosion-inhibiting preparations containing compounds such as these into waste waters or into the ground could result in almost inestimable ecological damage.

Other than in the operating examples, or where otherwise indicated, all numbers expressing quantities of ingredients or reaction conditions used herein are to be understood as modified in all instances by the term "about".

The present invention provides corrosion-inhibiting compounds for use in oil-containing systems which do not have any of the abovementioned disadvantages of the prior art. The compounds used according to the invention are not only inexpensively obtainable in large quantities from regeneratable sources, but they are also at least equivalent to known corrosion inhibitors in their corrosion-inhibiting effect. In addition, they are ecologically and toxicologically safer and, more especially, show better biodegradability than previously known compounds.

It has now been found that certain salts of esters of long-chain fatty alcohols with alpha-sulfofatty acids satisfy all the abovementioned requirements.

The present invention therefore relates to a method for corrosion inhibition in oils or oil-containing emulsions, comprising the use therein of a corrosion inhibitor effective amount of at least one salt corresponding to the following general formula ##STR2##

The above compound is an ester of at least one long-chain fatty alcohol corresponding to the following general formula

R1 --OH (I)

with at least one alpha-sulfofatty acid salt corresponding to the following general formula ##STR3## In the above formulae: R1 is a linear or branched C8-36 alkyl, C8-36 alkenyl or a mono- or poly-ethoxylated (1-10 E.O.) C8-18 alkyl

R2 is a linear or branched C10-20 alkyl,

M is a half equivalent of a divalent metal which is magnesium, calcium, barium or zinc. Within the context of this invention, half an equivalent means that one of the foregoing metal atoms is capable of binding two monofunctional alpha-sulfofatty acid residues.

The salts (III) of esters of long-chain fatty alcohols with alphasulfofatty acids used in accordance with the invention are derived from at least one long-chain fatty alcohol corresponding to general formula (I), in which R1 is a linear or branched C8-36 alkyl or alkenyl. Although in general R1 may be any radical described above, particular preference is given to those alcohols containing alkyl radicals R1 which are inexpensively obtainable in large quantities from natural sources. Such alcohols are those in which R1 is a linear alkyl, most preferably a C8-22 linear alkyl. Suitable alcohols of this type are in the nalkanols, preferably octanol, nonanol, decanol, undecanol, dodecanol, tridecanol, tetradecanol, pentadecanol, hexadecanol, heptadecanol, octadecanol, nonadecanol, eicosanol, uneicosanol and/or docosanol. Alcohols such as these and particularly those representatives of this group which contain an even number of carbon atoms in the alkyl radical may be inexpensively obtained in large quantities on an industrial scale natural fats and oils via the corresponding fatty acids by known hydrogenation reactions of the carboxyl group. The ester salts used in accordance with the invention may not only be derived from the pure long-chain fatty alcohols corresponding to general formula (I), they may also be ester salt mixtures which are formed from mixtures of long-chain fatty alcohols (I) such as these accumulating in industrial manufacturing processes. Alcohol mixtures available from Henkel KGaA, Duesseldorf, F. R. of Germany under the trademark "Lorol'" may be regarded as mixtures such as these which contain ester salts of long-chain fatty alcohols corresponding to general formula (I) in which R1 is a mixture of linear C12-18 alkyls. Similarly, it is also possible with advantage to use corresponding ester salt mixtures of long-chain fatty alcohols (I) which are derived from mixtures of cetyl alcohol, (i.e. a saturated alcohol (I) with an unbranched C16 alkyl), and oleyl alcohol, (i.e. an alcohol unsaturated in the 9,10-position containing an unbranched C18 alkyl). Mixtures such as these are commercially obtainable from Henkel KGaA, Duesseldorf, F. R. of Germany under the trademark "Ocenol" with different proportions of the unsaturated oleyl radical, for example "Ocenol" 50/55 or "Ocenol" 92/96.

In addition, the ester salts used in accordance with the invention may be derived from long-chain fatty alcohols (I), in which R1 is a branched alkyl. Alcohols containing branched alkyls such as these may be formed, for example, by subjecting alcohols of synthetic or natural origin to a "Guerbet" reaction from which 2-alkylalkan-1-ols are essentially obtained.

2-Ethylhexanol, 2-hexyldecanol and 2-hexadecyl-eicosanol are exemplary of useful branched alcohols. In addition, dimerized unsaturated fatty alcohols may also be used for the esterification. Dimerized oleyl alcohol (available under the trademark "Sovermol" from Henkel KGaA, Duesseldorf, F. R. of Germany) is one example of such an alcohol.

In addition, the ester salts used in accordance with the invention may also be derived from long-chain fatty alcohols corresponding to general formula (I) in which R1 is a mono- or poly-ethoxylated alkyl. Alkyls such as these are C8-18 alkyls with from 1 to 10 ethoxy moieties. It is emphasized in this connection that the number of ethoxy moieties per alkyl molecule (I) should be regarded as the average degree of ethoxylation of the particular alcohol and may vary over a more or less narrow range according to the production process.

In this case, too, preference is attributed to esters of long-chain fatty alcohols (I) having a C12-18 alkyl and from 3 to 6 ethoxy moieties in the molecule.

The alpha-sulfofatty acid component of the ester salts used in accordance with the invention corresponds to the following general formula ##STR4## in which R2 is at least one linear or branched C10-20 alkyl and M is half an equivalent of at least one metal which is magnesium, calcium, barium or zinc. Accordingly, R2 may be a linear alkyl selected from the group comprising decyl, undecyl, dodecyl, tridecyl, tetradecyl, pentadecyl, hexadecyl, heptadecyl, octadecyl, nonadecyl and eicosyl or even the corresponding branched isomers of the above alkyls. The alpha-sulfofatty acid component of the esters according to the invention preferably derives from fatty acids of natural origin which may be made accessible in large quantities by lipolysis from naturally occurring fats and oils. The resulting natural fatty acids are converted by hydrogenating hardening, if necessary, and subsequent sulfonation in known manner in the alpha-position to the carboxyl group, into the alpha-sulfofatty acids corresponding to general formula (II) which are one of the components for the ester salts of long-chain fatty alcohols with alpha-sulfofatty acids used in accordance with the invention. The fatty acid mixtures resulting from the lipolysis of natural fats and oils are preferably used for esters such as these. Preferred mixtures are those which contain C12-18 fatty acids so that, for the alpha-sulfofatty acid component of the ester salts used in accordance with the invention, R2 represents an even-numbered linear C10-16 alkyl. Accordingly, adducts which lead to the alpha-sulfofatty acid components (II) of the ester salts (III) by the route indicated are lauric acid, myristic acid, palmitic acid, stearic acid, lauroleic acid, myristoleic acid, palmitoleic acid and oleic acid. Hydrogenation of unsaturated radicals R2, subsequent sulfonation and reaction with bases of the formula M2 (OH)2 or corresponding salts in alkaline medium gives the alpha-sulfofatty acid salts corresponding to general formula (II).

The process for producing the ester salts (III) of long-chain fatty alcohols with alpha-sulfofatty acid salts used as corrosion inhibitors in accordance with this invention resulting from this process are formed by reacting the fatty alcohols (I) with alpha-sulfofatty acids or salts thereof corresponding to general formula (II) in a suitable organic solvents, optionally in the presence of catalytic quantities of an acid; removing the solvent by known methods and, if desired, purifying and isolating the products by known methods. However, it is also possible to use the product solutions directly for inhibiting corrosion, i.e. without isolating the salts (III) in pure form.

Catalysts which have been successfully used for the process described above are, in particular, inorganic mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid, of which sulfuric acid is in general particularly preferred. However, acidic ion exchangers of other acidic catalysts known per se may also be used. The esterification reaction is normally carried out in an organic solvent, such as toluene or xylene. The reaction temperatures of the esterification reaction differ according to the alcohol (I) and alpha-sulfofatty acids or salts (II) used and are normally 0° to 140°C

As in many other esterification reactions, it may be of advantage to remove the water formed during esterification by known methods. In the most simple case, this is done by means of an organic solvent suitable as an "entraining agent" which forms an azeotrope with water and, by so doing, removes it from the reaction mixtures. The equilibrium of the esterification reaction is thus successively displaced towards the products.

On completion of the reaction, which may be recognized by separation of the precalculated quantity of water, the organic solvent is removed by known methods, for example by distillation under normal or reduced pressure. If still necessary, the product mixture obtained is then converted into the salts (III) used in accordance with the invention, again by known methods (neutralization).

The esters or their salts (III) are obtained by the described process either as such or in the form of mixtures of different compounds when mixtures of compounds corresponding to general formula (II) have been used as the alpha-sulfofatty acid adduct and/or when fatty alcohol mixtures have been used as the fatty alcohol adduct (I).

However the ester salts of general formula (III) used in accordance with the invention are preferably produced from semisynthetic or synthetic fatty acid alkyl esters, preferably fatty acid methyl esters, with SO3 in the alpha-position by known methods, adapting the sulfonation products to the usual quality standard again by known methods, for example by bleaching with hydrogen peroxide, and transesterifying the resulting fatty acid alkyl esters sulfonated in the alpha-position with addition of an excess of an alcohol R1 -OH (I), in which R1 is as above defined. A major advantage of this procedure is that the successive reactions may be carried out without isolation of the intermediate products and that comparatively high product yields may be obtained, which leads directly -after neutralization in known manner- to the required ester salts of general formula (III) suitable for use in accordance with the invention.

Both the salts of the esters corresponding to general formula (III) and also mixtures of various such compounds are eminently suitable for use as corrosion inhibitors in oils and oil-containing emulsions. They are used with particular preference as corrosion inhibitors in lubricating oils, lubricating greases, transmission oils and machine oils based on mineral oils. The salts (III) used in accordance with the invention show excellent solubility in mineral oils and oil-containing emulsions and have the major advantage over known corrosion inhibitors, (such as petroleum sulfonates or comparable compounds), that they can readily be made in large quantities by wellknown and hence proven processes. In addition, they are considered completely safe in toxicological terms and degrade more easily than the petroleum sulfonates conventionally used as corrosion inhibitors.

Depending on the particular application, the salts (III) used in accordance with the invention are added in quantities of 0.05 to 10% (preferably 0.5 to 5%) by weight, based on the particular oil to be treated. Even at low concentrations, their corrosion-inhibiting effect is comparable with that of conventional inhibitors known from the prior art and, for in-use concentrations of the same order, is even better in some cases that the corosion-inhibiting effect of synthetic sulfonates, such as petroleum sulfonates.

The invention is illustrated by the following Examples.

240 g (1 mol) of ester (A) were sulfonated with 72 g (0.9 mol) SO3 by releasing the SO3 present in 100 g 65% oleum (fuming sulfuric acid) and passing it as a gas in admixture with nitrogen (5% by vol. SO3 to 95% by vol. N2) through the ester (A) for about 1 h at a temperature of 80°C The mixture was then left to react for 30 minutes at 80°C The black sulfonation product was lightened by addition of 2% of 35% hydrogen peroxide.

410 g (1.5 mols) oleyl alcohol (B) were added to the bleached product. This was followed by heating with stirring for 4 h to 90°C in a water jet vacuum. The methanol released (32 g) was condensed in a cold trap. The reaction product was found to have an acid number of 56.

For neutralization, the sulfonation product was added dropwise to 25.5 g calcium hydroxide in a mixture of 300 g water and 100 g isopropanol. The neutralized product (pH 5-8) separated with heating as the lighter phase containing the calcium salt together with a little isopropanol, unsulfonated ester and unused oleyl alcohol. This phase was separated off and freed from isopropanol and residues of water in vacuo at 90°C The end product which solidified slowly at room temperature was found by analysis to contain 1.9% Ca.

Neutralization was carried out in the same way as in Example 1, but with magnesium hydroxide, barium hydroxide and zinc oxide instead of calcium hydroxide. Salts of alpha-sulfonated C12-18 fatty acid oleyl ester with the following analytical data were obtained:

Magnesium salt (Example 2): 1.5% Mg

Barium salt (Example 2): 7.0% Ba

Zinc salt (Example 4): 3.7% Zn

The procedure in these Examples was the same as in Examples 1 to 4, except that sulfonation was carried out with 1.2 mols instead of 0.9 mol SO3.

PAC Preparation of the pure barium salt of alpha-sulfo-C12-18 fatty acid oleyl ester from the sodium salt by precipitation reaction

(a) Preparation of the sodium salt

The alpha-sulfo ester obtained as in Example 1 by sulfonation and transesterification with oleyl alcohol was neutralized with sodium hydroxide instead of calcium hydroxide. All unsulfonatable fractions were removed by extraction of the aqueous-isopropanolic solution with petroleum ether. The salt solution was then concentrated by evaporation in vacuo and dried. Ethyl acetate was added to the dry evaporation residue (500 g ethyl acetate to 20 g residue), followed by treatment for 10 minutes at reflux temperature. The solution was filtered and concentrated by evaporation. The evaporation residue (sodium salt) was found by analysis to contain 4.1% Na (calculated: 3.95% Na).

(b) Preparation of the barium salt

20 g (0.034 mol) of the sodium salt prepared in accordance with (a) was dissolved in water/isopropanol and an aqueous solution of 4.2 g (0.017 mol) BaCl2.2H2 O was added to the resulting solution. A crystalline deposit was formed and was filtered off. After drying in a high vacuum at 50°C, the resulting barium salt (17.2 g) of alpha-sulfo-C12-18 -fatty acid oleyl ester was found by analysis to contain 10.4% Ba (also 0.2% Na) (calculated: 10.9% Ba). This compound proved to be soluble in mineral oil.

Other ester salts of general formula (III) listed in Table 2 below were prepared in the same way as in Examples 1 to 8.

PAC Weight loss test

ST 1405 steel plates which had been degreased and cleaned with emery cloth (dimensions 25 mm×50 mm) were immersed in stirred mineral oil emulsions at 50°C and exposed for 2 weeks to the action of a chloride-containing, hard-water emulsion while, at the same time, oxygen was bubbled through. Two plates were used for each inhibition test. At the end of the test period, the weight loss of both plates was gravimetrically determined and the values obtained were averaged.

By comparing the averaged values with the average weight losses obtained in a blank test using inhibitor-free emulsion, the corrosion inhibition in % could be calculated in accordance with the following equation: ##EQU1## where ΔWO is the weight difference of the test plate before and after storage in inhibitor-free emulsion and

ΔWI is the weight difference of the test plate before and after storage in inhibitor-containing emulsion.

The results are shown in Table 5 below.

In the same way as described in Example 13, steel plates were exposed to a mineral oil emulsion which did not contain an inhibitor. The ratio by weight of mineral oil to emulsifier in this emulsion was 4:1. The emulsifier used was an adduct of 6.5 E.O. with nonyl-phenol, while the oil used was a naphthenic mineral oil.

The results are shown below in Table 6.

ST 1405 steel plates which had been degreased and cleaned with emery cloth (dimensions: 25 mm×50 mm) were immersed in mineral oil emulsions containing 20% by weight of the following concentrates:

60% naphthenic mineral oil,

15% emulsified (adduct of 6.5 E.O. with nonylphenol) and

25% ester sulfonate salt (III).

After draining and drying for a certain period, the test specimens were stored for 30 days at room temperature in a humidity chamber containing an atmosphere saturated with water vapor (100% relative air humidity). At the end of the test period, the steel plates were assessed for corrosion on the basis of the evaluation scale shown in Example 10.

The emulsions were prepared by standard methods from the corresponding concentrates (see above) using water having a total hardness of 3.58 mmols CaCl2.6H2 O and MgSO4.7H2 O.

The results are shown below in Table 6.

Steel plates of the same grade as in Example 14 were treated in the same way as in that Example, except that the emulsions did not contain an inhibitor. The ratio of mineral oil to emulsifier in the comparison emulsions was 4:1.

The results are shown below in Table 7.
